The new brakes just came in this week. I just thought I'd share. :D

These should do the job at Mid Ohio.

The end of June for sure. There's a Cobra even going on there the week prior to the London (OH) cobra show. Beyond that, as often as I can.

If I can get it all together in time and be satisfied with it, I'll probably try to make this event too. http://www.chinmotorsports.com/events/descriptions/mo.asp

My house is only 80 miles from Mid Ohio.

You just like spending money... :P

The damn thing is sub 2500 lbs with YOU IN IT! You have enough brakes for a damn semi-truck. hahaha.

It had drum brakes with leaking cylinders for gods sake!!!! And I can't tell you how much I despise drum brakes.

What type of tires are you going to run?
Wilwoods are a nice upgrade. What is the temp range on the pads?

For the moment, it's got falken azenis RT-615's 275/40/17 all around which I've been really happy with so far. I'll stick with those for now. The car is a handful and there's no reason to go faster until I'm more comfortable in it. It's not nearly as forgiving as the Mustang was.... In fact, I think it goes out of it's way to punish you for mistakes.

Wilwood BP-10 'smart pads' for the moment. They're good up to 1000* F running temp so I should be fine. Lots of brake... not so much car. If they're marginal I'll pick up some J compounds pads which are good to 1300.

I just got some new brakes for My AI car also. There must be something going around.

BTW, I'll be at Mid-Ohio in Aug. and again in Sept. for the Nationals.(hopefully)

That's awesome. Ping me when it gets closer and let me know if you need any help. I'd be more than happy to come out.
